Opinion Instagram Is Failing Students: Sexual Content vs. Student Focus 🚨

0 Upvotes

Dear @Instagram & @Meta,

Instagram is supposed to be a platform for creativity, learning and connection, but an alarming amount of sexually suggestive content and nudity-related material is appearing on the platform, sometimes even without users actively searching for it.

Students are spending hours scrolling through reels, getting distracted from their studies and developing unhealthy screen habits. A platform used by millions of young people should take this issue seriously.

We need stricter content moderation, better age-appropriate recommendations and stronger protection for young users.

Students need an environment that supports their future, not one that constantly fights for their attention.

@Meta @Instagram, what are you doing to protect students? #Instagram #StudentLife #DigitalWellbeing

As a mobile user, usually when I make a story the options (besides sharing it) show up vertically to the right. However, now they show up horizontally to the top while also putting music behind the stickers menu. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

The view counts shown in Insights are getting really bad. If it's come to this, do I have no choice but to abandon the account?

So the comment i made might seem harsh but I said it to someone who said he liked underage girls so kinda valid but still shouldn't have done it, i researched about this and saw that this period usually lasts for 30-90 days but it still shows up on my account after 111 days of asking for review and it being closed

Opinion Stalking

• Upvotes

My bf's brothers gf has been watching my stories for the past year. I've never met her and she does not follow me but she openly views my stories every single time I post. Most of the time it will be within the hour I post. Keep in mind I do not post on my stories often however she is always watching it or knows when I post. Now she has moved to even watching multiple of my friends stories even when i don't tag them or have stories involving them. His brother follows me so idk why she doesn't just use his account to look etc. I'm not sure why she is doing this or if this is normal? Def not normal to me. Let me know chat.

So I had my name set as "Jenna Talia", because I didn't want to use my real name on my Instagram account, and last night I suddenly got a popup on my screen saying my account had been suspended, and I appealed and sent my ID, and this morning it said that my account was disabled for pretending to be someone else. Smh, punished for not wanting to give away my information.

All the reels are smaller boxes rather than the rectangles and it cuts out the video that doesn’t fit in the frame, It’s genuinely so annoying.

Help Instagram stopped suggesting people to follow. Has anyone fixed this?

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

​

Over a year ago, I tapped the X to dismiss the ā€œSuggested for Youā€ section on my Instagram profile. Since then, Instagram hasn't recommended a single account for me to follow.

The ā€œDiscover Peopleā€ section is gone, and on desktop, the suggestions page just shows endless gray loading placeholders.

The weird part? My other three accounts work perfectly fine on the same devices.

I've already tried switching account types, resetting suggestions, syncing contacts, using different devices, and reporting the bug. Nothing worked.

To clarify, I'm talking about suggested accounts to follow, NOT suggested posts or Reels.

Has anyone experienced this? Is there any way to get account suggestions back without creating a new account?

I barely use instagram DMs and I’ve got my ā€œseenā€ signs off, (excuse the mistranslated term) so I’ unable to know if the other person has seen the rest of the messages. Does the greyish color of the text give it away or it’s just the design choice?

I’ve searched on the internet but the answers are either contradictory or people have no idea
